Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hovland, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. The area was old and dirty, and also prone to moisture. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage and raise health issues.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would need to have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. Foreman Casey Healy and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent any further moisture issues. 

In Brook Park, MN, homeowners faced the discomfort of cold floors and a persistent musty smell, aggravating allergies and dampening their living space. Our team at DBS took on the challenge, transforming their troublesome crawl space into a sealed, dry safe haven. Notice in the before photo how uninviting it was, but the after photo showcases our CleanSpace© solution in action – a bright, clean, and insulated area promoting a healthier home. The difference isn't just visual; it's felt throughout every step on the floors above. This remarkable turnaround not only solved the immediate issues but also elevated their home's comfort and value.

After meeting us at the Duluth Home Show, homeowners in Beaver Bay, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. Crawl spaces with exposed earth are prone to fluctuating humidity, creating moisture and mold issues. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage to the home and foundation as well as raise health issues. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. The DBS Foreman and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent the spread of moisture, and also added TerraBlock™ insulation to the space. Finally, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier will curb moisture levels due to temperature fluctuation in the space. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now a clean and dry crawl space. 

DBS received a call from a client in in Holyoke that needed their crawl space looked at for a foundation issue. We sent Design Specialist, Henrick Makitalo, to the home to see what the problem was. Henrik saw that the home needed our spray foam service in their crawl space around the walls of the home. This spray foam insulation in the crawl space, vents, and installation of a new crawl space door to correct the insulation and prevent cold air from coming up and into the house.

The before photo shows the crawl space before the poly foam insulation was added to the walls to keep the home warm, DBS also added a new crawl space door to keep the home warm.
